New Process for Finishing Top of
Improved Roads.
ALBANY, FEB. 26TH.— At the annual
highway workers' convention here
there was a discussion of the different
processes of macadam and earth road
treatment, which brought about the in
troduction of a new process which
eventually will replace the use of oil,
as used throughout this country during
the last summer.
This process is called gluterin and
is made from wood pulp and comes in
a liquid form. The cost of this prepara
tion is stated to be far lees than oil,
both in the actual cost and in the cost
of application. Its effect on the road
is said to be much better than that of
oil also. Superintendent VanAmburg
states that this process will be used
to some exent In this connty during
the coming summer, and from all re
ports of those who have used it, it will
probably be used exclusively in the
near future for road preservation and
coating.
The cost of gluterin is so much less
than oil, because after an application of
oil has been made to a road it has to
be topdressed with screenings.
Bear Hunting Record.
Mr. C. E. Logue, P. M., at First
Fork, claims the championship belt for
Cameron county for the season of 1609,
having captured and killed seven bear,
more than any other one hunter in the
couty— killing four and leading three,
by a rope, to his house, a distance of
two miles, all alone. He has captured
and shot fifteen bear during the past
three seasons, for which he received
over S3OO. There are other good bear
hunters in the county we should be
glad to hear from, namely: Jae. R.
Batchelder, Chas. Pitta, Frank Miller,
John Moore, John Jordan, Allen Rus
sell and several others. Let the PRESS
bear from yon if you can beat the
above record. We rhould very much
like to hear from the veteran hunter
and trapper, Isaac Wykoff. Why not
have« "Hunters Meet" here at Em
porium, some evening in the near fu
ture, exchange yarns and compare
records. Who will start the project?
The PRESS is pleased to hear from
onr friend and former townsman, Mr.
Chas. A. Van Lew, who resides at
Reardon, Washingon. Our pleasant
little city in the mountains ia holding
its own. We have bad an old-time
winter, Chas , with plenty of snow and
many jolly sleighing parties. We are
now having very high water
about five foot flood in the streams;
ice broke up and as usual overflow of
Howard's dam. much to the discomfort
of Second street residents. Chas. Ed
wards and crew have been busy dyna
miting a channel through the dam dur
ing Monday and Tuesday. It's the
same old story here, friend VanLew—
everybody happy, contented and busy,
although the deep snow—six feet in
the woods -has compelled a tempor
ary shut-down of the work in mill and
woods. Shake, old friend until we
meet again.
A Monster Buck.
Mr. A. M. Burfleld, a former resident
of Cameron county, but now residing
at Pine River, Minn., where he reads
the PRESS weekly, thereby getting the
news from his former home, writes to
ye editor. He is an expert hunter and
sends us a postcard, showing a monster
stag hanging up in the woods and Mr. B.
standing along Bide of his prize. He
writes: "As I don't get to my old
home I will send you my photo, think
ing that possibly you would like to
look at one of our Minn, stags. May
the PRESS live 43 years longer." We
appreciate your kindness, friend Bur
field and shall place your post card in
our album. Wish we could reproduce
the photo for the benefit of some of
our mighty hunters, especially those
residing in Grove.
A Jolly Sleigh Ride.
Not to be outdone by the younger
set. a bunch of old-young girls, (not
quite as young in years as the used to
but just as jolly as they were in the
long ago) stole a march on the younger
set, last Saturday evening and enjoyed
the last good sleighing of the season.
With Tony Seigfried holding the rib
bons with one hand and he
soon landed the party at Mr. and Mrs.
Fred Yentzer's, on Clear Creek, where
they were most royally entertained.
The party consisted of Meadatnes
Henry Sassman, Elizabeth Easter
brooks, Robert Faucette, JV
sop, J. R. Hamilton, B. HenrohiV
Helle Reattie, Lizzie Kelley, Sadie
phy, Dan'l Downey, W. H. Flint, Etta
Fetter, L Hie Rendt, Phoebe Rendt,
Thomas Craven and Alex. McGinnis.
It was a big night on Clear Creek
and the ladies certainly had a lovely
ride
Proposed Indian Monument to be
Erected in New York Harbor.
A bill introduced in both Houses of
Congress providing for a collosal stat
ute of the North American Indian Ui
be placed in New York Harbor was
reported in the House on March 1.
This measure was introduced by Re
presentative Joseph A. Qoulden and
Senator Chauncey M. Depew, of New
York, and provides that there shall be
erected withont expense to the United
States Government, by Rodman Wana
maker, of New York City, on a United
States reservation in the Harbor of
New York, a memorial to the memory
of the North American Indian. It is
further provided that a Commission
consisting of the Chairman of the Com
mittee on Library, of the Senate, the
Chairman ot the Committee on Lib
ary, of the House, and the Secretar
ies of State, War, Navy, and Interior,
the Attorney General and Robert C.
Ogden, of New York, shall be created
with full authority to select the site in
the Harbor of New York and a suitable
design, and to contract for and super
intend the construction of the memor
rial.
This Bill is the result of a suggestion
made by Mr. Rodman Wanamaker, at
a celebrated dinner given last May at
Sherry's, New York, in honor of Col
Cody, the famous Indian. The idea of
erecting a statute ot an Indian, with
arms outstretched in welcome at the
gateway of the New World met with
Bucb instant enthusiasm, that there is
little doubt, but that the measure will
meet with unanimous support.
While the ways and means of pro
viding money to finance the enter
prise have not yet been decided upon,
it is expected that the statute will be a
National Monument to perpetuate the
memory of the First American, and an
opportunity will be given to every one
who desires to contribute; it is esti
mated that one penny from every
man, woman, and child in the United
States will furnish ample means for its
erection.
Already various tribee of the Order
of - Men throughout the United
States have taken steps to contribute
their share to the general fund. It is
planned that each of the five hundred
thousand members of the Order of Red
Men represented in the four thousand
tribes in the United States shall con
tribute two cents each, which would
amount to flo,ooo. A pile of copper
cents amounting to SIO,OOO is far more
| imposing than a single check for that
amount donated by some one indivi
dual to whom it would mean so little.
The idea of this statute originated
with Mr. Rodman Wanamaker, of
Philadelphia, during an expedition
made by him in 1908, for the purpose
ol studying the Indian on his own
ground. Hiß first impulse was to pre
sent the statute to the country, but the
consensus of opinion is that it should
be a national gift, and that every child
in the country should be allowed to
contribute one penny in memory of a
race that is fast becoming extinct.
The bill is backed by the entire New
York delegation both in the House and
in the Senate, and is reciving the sup
port ot the President, the Vice Presi
dent, and many prominent men in
political and financial circles. Very
valuable aid is being given to secure
the passage of the Bill by Senators
Owen, of Oklahoma, and Curtis, of
Kansas, and by Representative Car
ter, of Oklahoma, all of whom trace
their ancestry back to the noble Red
Man of the Forest.
KEEP A STEADY GAIT.
Life is fraught with many cares—
The road is sometimes rough;
At many turns unseen snares
Await one sure enough.
You may be jostled by the throng
From early morn till late,
But boldly push your way along
And keep a steady gait.
Should misfortune wreck your plan.
Don't give up the fight-
Meet it bravely like a man
And keep your "goal" in sight,
Don't charge your failure to "hard luck/
Or to "an unkind fate"—
Push right ahead—just show your pluck
And keep a steady gait.

No, It Is Not the Tariff.
The meat dealers in the fast are be
ginning to retaliate. They are asking
that the Tariff be taken off and Mexi
can and Canadian cattle admitted into
the country. But the American peo
ple have been buncoed once in that
way. The shoe makers for years told
the shoe wearers that if hides were
doty free shoes would be so much
cheaper. So the last Congress took
the duty of 15 per cent, from hides and
made them absolutely free. But shoes
have been going np just the same, and
so has leather. The government is
simply out the revenue. Before we j
make any more such deals we would
like to have the free bides failnre ex
plained.
No, it is not the Tariff. The Ameri
can cattle grower has not been getting
too much for his cattle. In the mar
kets steers, from ordinary to the best,
range in prices from about $4 to $6 a
hundred. The average is probably
about five cents a pound. Do the
American people want to make cattle
cheaper than that ? They are cheap
enough. If they were much cheaper
the farmers could not afford to grow
and fatten them.
There is something wrong some
where else- The steer that brings on
the farm S6O or S6O costs the consum
ers SIOO or even $l2O, as shown by figu
res prepared in Des Moines. The
packer says lie does'nt get it, the
wholsaler saya he doesn't, and the re
tailer can prove bis innocence. There
is something wrong with the system
of getting the stuff from the producer
to the consumer Ceder Rapids "Re
publican."
Triennial Tax Appeals.
Our readers should carefully note
the dates of appeal days in their re
spective districts and, if they have any
grievances, attend. When this sys
tem Is properly equalized it should
work to the advantage of all. Natur
ally tax-payers are anxiously waiting
to see bow the plan works. There I*
every reason to think it shonld, provi
ded the assessments are equalized. 4
Slowly Impoving.
The many Emporium friends of Mrs.
Carrie Julian, who has been danger
ously ill for several weeks and confined
at Bradford hospital, will be pleased to
learn that excellent lady Is slowly re
covering. Mr. H. Clint Olmsted, while
transacting business in Emporium last
week, informed the PRESS that Mrs.
Julian'B left Bide is paralyzed, yet the
physicians give every encouragement.
A Sleighing Party.
A sleigh load of young folfts stopped
at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Alex.
McAuley, Elk Lick farm, Saturday,
never thinking nor minding the high
water or ipe jams. Flinch was the
game, in part, that entertained them
until the royal grand supper was serv
ed. All enjoyed the occasion and were
profuse in praises for the kindness of
Mr. and Mrs. McAuley.
Extensive Improvements.
Jas. P. Creighton is making extensive
improvements on his Sixth street resi
dence. When completed he will have
one of the most comfortable homes in
Emporium. Mr. Creighton, in addition
to conducting the Bon Ton Billiard
Rooms is stock contractor at the Fur
nace and an industrious citizen.
Pleased to see him and his pleasant
little family prosper.
There's no Risk
If This Medicine Does Not Benefit,
You Pay Nothing.
A physician who made a specialty
of stomach troubles, particularly dys
pepsia, after years of study perfected
the formula from which Rexall Dys
pepsia Tablets are made.
Our experience with Rexall Dyspep
sia Tablets leads us to beileve them to
be the greatest remedy known for the
relief of acute indigestion and chronic
dyspepsia. Their ingredients are
soothing and healing to the inflamed
membranes of the stomach. They are
rich in pepsin, one of the greatest di
gestive aids known in medicine. The
relief they afford is almost immediate.
Their use with persistency and regu
larity for a short time brings about a
sessation of the pains caused by stom
abh disorders.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will Insure
healthy appetite, aid digestion and
promote nutrition. As evidence of our
sincere faith in Rexall Dyspepsia Tab
lets, we ask you to try them at our risk.
If they do not give you entire satisfac
tion, we will return you the money
you paid us for them, without question
lor formality. They come in three
; sizes, prices 25 cents, 50 cents and SI.OO.

Granger Hockley.
Editor Hockley, we failed to men
tion the fact, (and he is too mod
est to do so) visited his old home
near Muncy, and after admiring
the dear old spot and its surroundings,
purchased the interest of the other
heirs, aod is now a full-fledged gran
ger. The property, we understand,
ia a valuable one and in addition to
excellent land, has quite a large tract
of timber on it. LK. is looking up all
the popular farm ballads, patent
churns, Ac., and may yet take a look
at W. H. Howard's hay fork. He will
not move onto the farm, he informs
us, but desires to get all in shape for a
snap shot photo, to be taken next har

"cut" in the PR£Ss.
L. O. T. M. Sleigh Ride.
The members of the L. O. *l. M..
enjoyed a aleigh ride last Thursday
evening, to the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles King, on Clear Creek. The
ad ies left Emporium about eight p. m.,
after a very pleasant drive arrived at
the above mentioned place, where the
remainder of the evening was devoted
to general good time and a delicious
oyster supper was served. The party
arrived home about 1:30 in the
morning when the thermometer regis
tered about 12 degrees below zero.
Thirty ladies enjoyed the pleasant
evening. <

One of Our Best.
The • PRESS sanctum was on Wed
nesday highly honored by a visit from
Mr. H. C. Olmsted, manager of the
Furnace Supply Company Store at this
place. No town can boast of a more
honorable citizen than H. C., who has
resided in Emporium for almost thirty
seven years, given liberally of his
means for the support of every laud
able object and enjoys the esteem of
every citizen. Would we had many
more such citizens.
Exchanged Pulpits.
Rev. J. M. Robertson, rector of Em
manuel Episcopal Church, of this
place, exchanged pulpits with the Rev.
Mr. Bigham, rector of St. Agnes Epis
copal Church, St. Maryp, last Friday
evening. Rev. Bigham preached a
good sermon which was listened to by
an appreciative congregation. Rev.
Bigbam's pronounciation is clear and
distinct, and can deliver a sermon in a
very pleasing manner.
Rumored Change.
Mr. Andrew Brady, we understand,
has secured an option on the Crane
block, occupied by H. A. Zarps and
the Furnace Supply Co., on Fourth
street. We hope Mr. Brady closes the
deal, for it is a valuable piece of prop
erty. When this sale is consumated it
disposes of the last property here own
ed by the late Mrs. William Howard,
of Williamsport.
Painful Fall.
Mrs. Mead Floyd, while walking on
Fourth street last Saturday evening,
accompanied by her husband, had the

Pennsylvania Railroad Doing
Good Work.
Actively Enter Forestry—Over
One Million Trees Growing—
Great Bodies of Land Suitable in
this State for Farming and Re-
Forestry.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany has planted 3,482,186 trees since
it undertook forestry work on a com
prehensive scale. This is brought out
in a report just issued by the Forester
of the Railroad. In 1909 alone more
than a million trees were planted on
tracts of lsnd along the Company's
right of way.
Prior to last year, the Pennsylva
nia's forestry operations were oonfined
to a limited area between Philadel
phia and Altoona. In 1909, however,
7,800 trees were planted near Pomeroy
Pa., 188,200 in the vicinity of Vandyke,
Pa., 66,800 near New Brunswick, N. J.,
362,000 near Eyer, Pa., 30,000 on the
right of way near Metuchen, N. J.,,
161,825 at Denholm, Pa., 204,500 at
Conewango, Pa., and 74,600 at Parkton,
Md.
The total number of plants shipped
from the Company's forest nursery at
Morrisville, Pa., was 1,240,381. There
are at the present time in the nursery
trees for forest planting ranging in
age from eight months to six years.
During the year five bushels ot acorns
were planted in their permanent places I
as an experiment.
A special effort, was directed last
year to growing ornamental shrubbery
for use in parking the lawns around
stations and unoccupied places along
the roadway. To save the time requir
ed to grow these from seed, 6,000
plants were imported from France.
They were placed in beds at the com
pany's nursery at Morrisville. Part
of them will be ready for transplant
ing this year, and the remainder in
1911.
